Alright, I was doing a family history project for Social Studies to find out if I was related to anyone significant in history, and I interviewed a few of my family members about the subject, and they themselves also had some interesting stories.
One of my relatives was a decorated sharpshooter in the Civil war for the Confederates
My great grandfather was a gold miner at Cripple creek and found an assload of gold and became rich, and carried six revolvers with him to look badass
My great great I don't know how many greats grandfather was at Jamestown and lived through the first winter when most of the settlement died, successfully repelling attacks on the fort many a time and getting shot in the loving eye with an arrow and living
My mom's father's father was on the Titanic and lived despite being in the stuffty position of no lifeboats, he loving swam to an open lifeboat that had capsized and got in, despite below freezing water
My Grandfather was in the Korean war and drove a loving tank in addition to being a medic
and lastly, my Uncle was reluctant to tell me this, but he was actually imprisoned with John McCain in the Hỏa Lò Prison in Vietnam for three years, surviving very brutal torture that I'd rather not write about. He was there because he was shot down, ejected, and landed right into a group of Viet Cong soldiers, who took him prisoner. He's fine now, but doesn't like talking about his stay in the Hanoi Hilton.
Some amount of greats grandfather was a loving knight who owned a lot of damn land and had a castle of his own.
There's some more stuff that I forgot, but I never knew my family had such a badass history. Discuss.
